    Love the book so far. There seems to be typos on page 21, para 3. The sentence reads, “Other companies and publishers pay search experts to help get high in the rankings want because they more traffic.”
    Can you please clarify?
    Thank you!

      Tina: Glad you are enjoying the book!

      Wow that is a huge typo!

      This: here seems to be typos on page 21, para 3. The sentence reads, “Other companies and publishers pay search experts to help get high in the rankings want because they more traffic.”

      Should be: Other companies and publishers pay search engine optimization (SEO) experts to help them rank high in the search results for Google, Yahoo, Bing because they want more traffic to their respective site(s).

      I hope this helps! Thanks for letting me know too!

    I love Socialnomics and would like to shamelessly ask for a favor.

    I have a job interview coming up where I need to discuss “The Business Value of Social Computing”. It would be fantastic if you can craft a pithy one or two line soundbite on your perspective, that I can drop during my interview. Your contribution could just be enough to tip things my way…

    All being well, your small contribution to my fabulous interview will result in a shiny new job for me! And, er, a warm glow of benevolence for you :-)

    Anyway, I realise that this is a bit off the wall and a bit cheeky, but what the heck… I really appreciate your time reading this far, and look forward to hearing your response. Cheers. Luke

    Ok, I’m a dork.

    But I watched your video and I cried. When something is true, and accurate, and profound, and paradigm shifting and expresses what I try to get across to clients every day, it makes me so happy that I just have to cry.

    Like I said, I’m a dork.

    and I guess the music helps too.

    Erik, Amazing Work ! Your video presentation is nothing short of brilliant. I will be promoting your book and am asking permission to post your video on a couple of my sites. I knew about your book but this is the first time I watched your video.

    Dear Erik,

    I am a German student. In the course of writing my bachelor thesis on Social Media I read your book and I think it is amazing!

    I would appreciate it if you would write me your opinion on two topics so I can use it as an expert statement in my thesis.

    1) What do you think which trend follows Social Media? Do you think there is a “Social Media Bubble” that will burst?

    2) What are the biggest flaws of Social Media as a marketing instrument for companies?

    Thank you in advance, I am looking forward to read your answer!

    Erik,

    I had to pick 2 books to read for a Masters class and write a Point of View what the two books impacted on my learning. The first is “Why we Buy” and the second one is your “socialnomics.” I’m an Advertising Major and I just want to shout out and say that I am so glad to read your book! The design of your book is so easy for me to read, and one of the best I’ve encountered so far. I like your key points after every chapter. (Probably a good format that all other books should follow) Otherwise everyone is going to go on a summary website like spark notes.
    I just finished reading the part about A Truly Interconnected Web? in your book and want to share with you something that happened to me 2 weeks ago.

    I met a new friend in class and as we both try to search for one another on facebook to add and become friends our profile did not show up. We try searching each other on our mutual friends and that didn’t work as well) We both did not block one another because we both have never met before. In the end after 5-10 minutes of searching over and over, we Googled one another our names and with the link provided we were able to add one another.

    Not too sure how unlucky we are, but just wondered if you heard something like this before.

    But other than that I really like your videos!
    You inspire me!

    Best,

    Hiro

    Hi Erick,

    I am an account exec at an ad agency and I want to attend a conference so we can incorporate social media as part of client marketing strategies. Could you recommend one that you think is best? I was thinking the New Comm Forum since it seems diverse and targets ad professionals. If you wouldn’t mind taking a minute to share your thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks so much,

      Thanks Erik!

      I am adapting your motto – “Fast fast, fail forward, fail better.” Thanks for the compliments on the site design – I’m coming off of 10 years as a web site designer and nows it’s my turn to build my own web-based company via travel. It was also great to read some travel industry specifics in the book.

      I also agree with your advice to launch in Beta. I started a blog, Facebook page, etc. and had no idea what to do with these tools but decided to get started anyhow back in 2009 and figure it out as I go – just like I did in ’99 with web site design.

      With yours and David’s books – and everyone else your recommend, I’m now ready to start implementing changes for Bright Life Travel – version 2.0. I’ll keep you posted on progress. ;-)

      I’m in an E-Myth business coaching group and have posted these books and the importance of social media to my fellow members with the overview text right from Socialnomics inside flap as you say it perfectly!

      Best,
      Bobbi-Jo

    hi mr. erik,

    my name is catarina and i would like to know, do you think that the development of web 2.0 will lead to a drastic change on the way people get informed these days?

    • equalman // December 18, 2009 at 2:40 pm | Reply

      Catarina:

      Great question: “do you think that the development of web 2.0 will lead to a drastic change on the way people get informed these days?”

      I believe YES! A fun example is that we during 2008 election for the Tina Fey spoofs of Sarah Palin, more people viewed the 5 minute video clip online than via TV. So, instead of having to sit through 90 minutes of SNL, you can wait to have your friends/peers push you the content that it relevant/best.

      Happy Holidays!

    hi mr. erik,

    my name is manuel, i’m a student of journalism, and i have a question for you. can you tell me please, how do you think the media is reacting to web 2.0?

    • equalman // December 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm | Reply

      Manuel: Great question, the short answer is that some companies are embracing it (think CNN with their on demand video, podcasts, use of Twitter, etc.). While others are taking a stance of FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) – think about Cable providers. They are fighting the fact that everything may one day be served through an IP address rather than embracing the massive benefits (tracking, ease of international distribution, cost reduction etc.)

Right now, we have to do a paper work about the effects that web 2.0 is having on the traditional media, such as newspapers, radio, and tv. I would really like to get your opinion on this, like how do you think traditional media are dealing with web 2.0? how are they reacting, are they adapting themselves? I would be so honoured if you could help me clarify these points…

    Very succint video. It’s like a snapshot of an ever transforming phenomenon. It would be interesting to revisit this information every year for an update, always with the same presentation format. Others had commented on the time different media had taken to reach 50 million individuals but none had succeeded in making it so clear.

    Please be a productive member of the human race instead of glomming onto crap like this.

    This is a fad.

      Ben:

      Thanks for the poem. Here’s one for laughs:

      Your cat sounds smart & cool,
      It must have gone to a very good school,
      It’s true that I have jumped into the social media pool,
      So that in the future I don’t look like a fool,

      A few may believe the video to be marketing pollution,
      227,000 others realize it’s a social media revolution!

      Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment, have a good weekend. Best – equalman

      Clodagh: Thanks for the positive post. eBook should be out soon – was just on a call with the publisher. Apparently it still gets backlogged with the Fall Book Sales season. As a Kindle lover I feel your pain having to wait!

    Dear Mr. Erik,

    my name is Gustavo, I am from Brazil and I am manager of Digital Buzz, an agency of internet.

    The reason of this contact is about the video: Social Media Revolution.

    We work with social media and much more and I ask to you if there a possibility to use the video in our website, the credits are totaly yours, but I have a special wish. We want to translate the text content in the video to portuguese.

    Is it possible? Can you send us the font file?
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thank you so much.
    Huges.

        Go for it! If you can just make sure it’s a direct translation without cuts/edits that would be wonderful. Thanks for the interest and for asking me. My wife speaks French and Spanish so she will be excited.
